Ohio St is covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/ncf/injury/injuries.html
Clemson has the 12th most effective passing game
overall, avg. 329.3 ypg. You have to figure the Tigers
will be putting up points thru the air tonight.
So we flip over to Ohio St's passing attack, as
they will likely have to throw the ball, and what do
we have: Ohio St ranks 90th in pass, only 200.9
ypg, vs Clemson pass defense rank 15th, only allowing
198.3 ypg.
The Orange Bowl is not a good place
for youngsters to pick up experience, which is exactly
what Ohio St will be relegated to doing tonight.

Neither the public nor the linesmakers have been sharp
this bowl season. Ignore the false favorite line.
Public is running 64-65% in favor of Ohio State.

In this setup we should not expect Ohio St to be
capable of keeping pace with Clemson's scoring.

Pick: Clemson to Win +130.
